What is the Roomba Combo J9+?

iRobot has established itself as the leader in the field of smart vacuums and mopping and its most recent model, the Combo j9+, builds on the foundation of that model. It boasts a top-rated dirt and dust pick up performance and uses an intelligent mopping system that's powered by the new iRobot OS. This latest software gives robots "smart cleaning preferences" and allows them to automatically clean rooms based on the needs of the room. For instance they might be more attentive to the floors in the kitchen and increase the pressure on the floor scrubber when in the entryway, or boost the suction power for carpeted areas.

The j9+ is a great choice for large homes with a variety of flooring surfaces, as it can be used to clean dirt and other debris on carpeted and bare floors. Its navigation system was solid and it was able to avoid obstacles during our tests. It also has an option that allows you to view images of the objects it encounters during a run, which helps it better build maps and prevent these dangers in the future.

The mops are easily replaced, and its large water tank should last for about one week between refills. The dustbin onboard is huge and has a lid that swings that makes it easy to empty. While it's self-emptying, you'll still need to manually remove the filter every now and then in order to prevent blocking.

The Clean Base Auto Fill dock is an additional nice feature. It can automatically empty and fill the tank of water that the robot has. It's something that many of its competitors do not have, and it's a fantastic feature that reduces the amount of maintenance tasks that you need to do.

The iRobot app is easy and simple, however it's not without flaws. It is frustrating to use as it doesn't have live coverage maps or remote control capabilities. It is also prone for dropping connections and often signs you out. This is not the most pleasant experience. Additionally, it doesn't permit you to set a certain date when the robot should complete a cleaning task.

It has a 3.8 star rating on Amazon, and is one of the smartest mopping machines available (though rivals like the Ecovacs X1 Omni or the Roborock Q5+ are better for cleaning up messes). Its strengths lie in its reliable obstacle avoidance and home navigation, which allows it to maintain the same level of tidiness between more thorough cleaning runs.

Automatic updates are another benefit that will keep your Roomba running smoothly. You can also manually update it if you want to connect to Wi-Fi, download the latest software and wait for a few minutes.

Like other irobot for pets robots like the Combo J7+ also requires maintenance. The dust bin must be cleaned out every two weeks, and its liquid chamber can be filled with cleaning solution. It comes with a test bottle of the irobot robots's cleaning solution, however the help section suggests that Bona Hardwood/Hard Surface Cleaner as a suitable alternative that won't harm the device. The front wheel can be removed to clean and its socket should at least once every week be cleared of hair and tangled debris.

The Combo J7+ can be used to clean up to 60 floors. However, the number of floors that you can clean with one charge will be contingent on the type of floor you have and frequency of cleaning. The battery life is as long as 90 minutes. You can charge it using the included AC adapter. The docking base must be cleared of dust and dirt every two weeks.

The mops are easily recharged and emptied, so you don't have to worry about when it's time to replace or refill them. This model also comes with a new, aesthetically appealing, and functional dock that has indicators to inform you when the Combo j9+ is charging, in need of refills, or if it needs to be cleaned.
